The Final Inoculation: Weird Fiction Inspired by the Mediterranean World

‘An astonishing merging of scientific acumen and imagination…’ Adrian Tchaikovsky, praise for All Tomorrows The Final Inoculation gathers together surreal short fiction and original artwork inspired by the myths, creatures and landscapes of the Mediterranean world. Across these strange and dreamlike tales, giant spiders haunt ancient islands, prophetic creatures roam mountain ranges, and forgotten civilisations linger beneath the surface of everyday life. Blending speculative fiction, folklore and biological surrealism, C. M. Kosemen creates bizarre worlds that feel both ancient and eerily possible. Written over the past decade and presented alongside Kosemen’s vivid paintings and illustrations, these stories emerge from the same imaginative universe that made All Tomorrows an international cult phenomenon. Part weird fiction, part illustrated art book, The Final Inoculation is a striking exploration of dreams, mythology and the hidden strangeness of the natural world.
